Gluten Free Apple Pie (or The Happy Cake)

It’s autumn. It’s THE time of the year for apple pie. Especially since we are in the US for this year’s Thanksgiving, nothing seems more appropriate than making and writing about apple pie (ok, there’d also be pumpkin pie. And sweet potato casserole… maybe we can cover that another time).

As I am preparing my gluten free apple pie looking forward to sharing it with friends, I am reminding myself of how lucky and happy I am. So I thought I’d share the things I am happy about with you today.

Health

Having the freedom to move about and spend time in different places of the world

Traveling around the world with the boyfriend (who pushes and challenges me every day) and pup

Being blessed with the sweetest (albeit sometimes naughty and stubborn) puppy

Right now living in a modern nice apartment with fluffy carpet and a big kitchen

Friends with whom I keep contact even though we are not living in the same place

Friends whom I meet after a few months or even years and it feels like we just saw each other yesterday

I think it’s so much more important to focus on what we have and what we are happy for and right there make the conscious decision to be happy. Let’s not focus on the negative as this will not bring us forward.

So here we go, the gluten free apple pie of happiness! Have a great Thanksgiving – I hope you get to spend it with family and/or friends.
